do not update this page as the latest information is always
being shared in the Elsmar Cove Forums. None the less, there are some
good things on this page from a historical aspect.

If you are new to ISO 9000 (specifically ISO 9001), you can find out everything you want to know about the ISO 9000 series of documents, including the evolution of the standard back to the 1960's (See this set of QMS (Quality Management Systems) Implementation Slides). Mainly what is dealt with in this section of the page from this point down is information that, as a 'beginner, you should take some time to browse through to get a feel for what ISO 9001 is and what it is about. Don't get confused by the 'old' version' and the 'new' version. Don't let the 'Process Approach' rants scare you. There really is little difference other than verbiage. So, as you peruse the 'old' stuff, you will gain an understanding of the principles ISO 9001 is built on.

CSA - Canadian Standards Association I get my international specs from CSA. Good price, many disk files
available, comprehensive. Ask them about their Plus
series! They're really
nice! ISO
9000 is ISO 9000 no matter what country you're in...
